Kudos for the Book
“One of the most critical health issues we face as a society is the overabundance of omega-6 fatty acids and the lack of omega-3 fatty acids in our diet. This unnatural imbalance is a major contributor to the epidemics of heart disease and cancer and the many conditions caused by inflammation.
That’s why I so highly recommend “The Food Industry’s Greed: How Misleading Labeling of Omega-3 Products Undermines American Health - Inflammation and Omega-6.” Lois Smithers presents a very clear case for the incredible benefits of omega-3s and she makes it abundantly clear how badly consumers have been misled by food manufacturers touting their products as a “good source of omega-3s”.
I do not know a single person whose health would not improve by knowing and implementing the information and advice in this book.”

“If you are confused about the role of fats in health and illness, join the club. Lois Smithers’ book helps de-mystify this complex topic. She succinctly explains the differences between omega 3 and omega 6 fatty acids. She describes the way that food has been falsely marketed to us and teaches us how to be wise consumers by understanding how to read between the lines on labels. Her work is based upon the current scientific literature yet is an easy read. I commend her on this book and also on her determination to help make a difference in labeling of fatty acids on foods.”

“The research in this book is crystal clear. Americans desperately need to learn that their health depends on their increasing daily intake of anti-inflammatory Omega 3 oils and reducing the pro-inflammatory fats. I appreciate Lois Smithers’ explaining the differences in essential fatty acids. The book will help people suffering with inflammation, cardiovascular issues, memory problems, and anyone that wants to maintain optimum health.”

“Finally, someone has put together a fascinating exposé into the latest health food buzzword: Omega-3. Appearing on more food products every week - the “omega-3″ stamp-of-approval implies numerous health benefits. But are we being told the full story? Lois Smither’s insightful book delves into the mistruths on our food labels, and just how much it could be impacting our health.”

“As a nutrition fact label coach, I counsel my clients with diabetes, heart disease, and weight control issues to interpret and apply the nutritional data on commercially produced foods. Buying processed foods is like signing a legal document, read the fine print or your health will be in serious trouble. In the “Food Industry’s Greed” Lois proves my point with respect to Omega-3 food labeled products. This book isn’t overly long yet the Omega-3 information will result in many long term health benefits for consumers. A must read for anyone confused by Omega-3 and Omega-6 labels today. I highly recommend this book.”

“We hear of illnesses and disabilities all the time and yet most of the time, we don’t really care. However, when reality strikes us hard and fast and we wake up on the other side of the equation, we suddenly feel vulnerable, mortal, and most of all, conscious. We start paying attention to every single detail in the way we live our lives.
“Still, no one needs a rude awakening to start being health conscious. Take it from Lois Smithers in her book “The Food Industry’s Greed: How Misleading Labeling of Omega-3 Foods Undermines Health – Inflammation and Omega-6.” Smithers personally suffered from inflammation brought about by fatty acids found in Omega-6. On the positive note, a product of that ordeal is this amazing research on food labeling and Omega-3 foods.
“We see those Omega-3 foods in stores and supermarkets and propaganda may have influenced us to consume them since they’re “good for the heart.” But beyond those claims, Smithers provides us with clear and easy to understand information on those details obscured by marketing and advertising schemes. A must-read for those joining the health-consciousness bandwagon.”

“It is unfortunate and sad that there are plentiful of big status quo corporate people who would do anything to make profit even if it means compromising people’s health and well being. However, it takes good and courageous people, such as you, who would take their time to find the truth and bring it to people. Without people like yourself, we’d be living in the mercy of corporate greed and bureaucracy. Thank you for writing your book. I was very much in the dark when it comes to Omega-3 and Omega-6. I believe the out of balance Omega-6 is responsible for some of my family’s health problems, especially my daughter’s inflammations.
Well, not anymore! Your book gave us the information we so badly needed, and armed with this information we can now regain control of our health instead of being the food industry’s guinea pigs. Marvelous work.”
